Troubleshooting

If you experience any problem with this unit, please take the time
to look through this chart and see if you can solve the problem
yourself before calling your dealer.
No power
e Connect the power plug to a wall socket.
There is no sound.
e Turn the power on.
e Turn the input selector knob to select an input source.
e No playback sound is output when the INPUT 1 or INPUT 2
control knob is set to DEMAG. Turn the INPUT 1 or INPUT 2
control knob away from the DEMAG position.
Sound is too low
e The rated output of this unit is 0.5 V, which is lower than a CD
player. Adjust the volume control on the preamplifier. If you use
the C-03 preamplifier, set the input level (Level>) of the input
terminal to which this unit is connected a little high so that only
a small amount of volume adjustment is required when you
change the input source.
Too much noise
e Selecting a load resistance that is not adequate for the internal
resistance of a cartridge reduces the sound volume and raises
noise levels. Turn the Input control knob to select a load
resistance that is sufficiently large for the internal resistance of
the cartridge you are using.
e If not connected, connect the GND terminal of the cable from
the record player to the ground terminal of this unit.
